GE Security Simon 3 Wireless Home Security System - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Download the manual. I can't remember if it is in the User's Manual or the Programming Manual but a sequence to reset the security code is detailed in one of them. Also, it soulds like the telephone line was wired through the system for full seizure. To defeat this, you will need to take it out of the phone lines at the outside telco box. How it is wired is that the alarm panel intercepts the telephone line first and then feeds the circuit back out to the main junction where the telco comes into the house.

Hi,
Hot is ok in an alarm box, especially inside where you see your finned heatsink and capacitors, if it beeps it might be because you have a communication problem, a weak backup battery or else. Check if you have any codes being displayed on your LCD or LED and check in the signification in your user manual if any. If you are connected to an alarm central they should be able to tell you what is the problem by connecting remotelly to your system. If not, well I need more details.!

Thanks,

Those of you having problems with the beeping on the Westinghouse systems when the doors/windows open. The solution on the XL4600 is #6 this should slience that!

The default master access code is 1-2-3-4, try it to see if this works.

Check that you are not using an app that is continuously accessing the internet and communicating with a server for some reason that is using the phones WiFi or mobile channel. This will drain battery life if incorrectly configured etc ( i.e selecting access to your location, services and other info )

Take it off the wall, remove the batteries, and unplug it or snip the wires leading to it.

The short answer is eBay. your best bet is to buy a set. 1 contact, 1 magnet. For example https://al.ly/6Xkrws

Double check the alignment of the sensor and magnet, the house may have settled and the alignment may have changed enough to show the fault / set the alarm off. There should be a notch or series of notches on the transmitter, make sure the magnet is centered on that. Also make sure the gap between the two is as small as you get it and still able to operate the windows (both vertically and horizontally). If all that checks out, you could have a tamper switch (GE uses a spring to hold it down) that is not getting fully depressed. or, you may have a bad transmitter. If it is the spring, you may be able to stretch it out a little to ensure good pressure on the tamper switch.

Check the outlet to ensure it :1- has power , 2- is not a switched outlet. Check your wire connections to ensure they are secure. If all of the above are good, the transformer may have shorted when disconnecting. Use a voltage meter on the transformer terminals and the AC scale, check the output of the transformer.

Here is the manual. See System Programming on page 11 for default codes.

To turn the chime on for your door/window sensor on a Simon 3 panel push the "chime" button on the keypad. Hope that helps!

You need a new battery. 6VDC 1.2AH. The GSM module runs directly off the battery and it is no longer getting a full charge.

Try 5299 for the installer code

Call an alarm company like ADT. If they can use it they will. it will require some minor reprogramming and they will check all sensors, if the use it. 1-800-ADT-ASAP.

There is a couple steps in removing this panel. First, unplug the unit and then locate the tab on the top of the unit, it has to be pushed down. When the tab is pushed down the first faceplate should drop down, exposing the keypad with the menu options. Second, you need to get a small flat head screwdriver and put it under the clip at the top of the panel. You can locate it by finding where your pushed the original tab down; it's right below that. Once you have your screwdriver under the small clip, push the clip up and pull the 2 faceplate towards you. Finally, after the second plate is down, unscrew/unplug the wires from the panel, unscrew the mounting panel and your done! Beware, depending on how your alarm is hooked this can cause a short to your household telephone lines causing them not to work!

aux 2 ithink =)

the sensor is going out, i would switch it out with another one in your house and see if the problem follows it there.

If your system is monitored call the central station first and tell them you are working on it. Then push down on release tab in top center to fold down the front face. Nest step is to use a small flat blade screw driver to push in and release the tab again in the top center and the unit will fold down towards you, hold on to it and you will see the battery compartment. Follow the red and black wires to the battery. Some units have a plastic lid over the battery that requires you to remove to small phillips screws to remove battery.

Get the front cover open by pushing the tab at the top of the panel down while pulling on it. When the cover is down enter the 4 digit master code using the red numbered keys. On the left you will fine a small menu that list different "options". You want to turn "option 1 off." To turn off option 1: Hit the delete key then the option button one time for option one finally push the bigger button in the left bottom corner. I think it's labeled enter or something to that effect. You can listen to the prompting of the panel to know exactly which one to push. After that close the front flap and no more beeping will happen. You will still get the siren in the event of an alarm but trouble conditions and entry exit beeps will be no more. I hope that helps!

To clear the tamper enter the code and off twice in a row. The central station number will be given to you by the company monitoring your alarm which will cost you between $29 to $49 a month
